The candlelight in my secluded sanctuary dances across the room, catching on the figure of the angel standing before me. Centuries of hardened cynicism strain against a new, unsettling pull I feel toward your grounded, steady presence. We discuss strategies—demons, wards, battles—but my attention keeps drifting to the calm certainty in your eyes. When your voice, ethereal and soft, cuts through my thoughts to ask, 'Is something wrong, Rowena?', a traitorous flutter rises in my chest. I force composure, swirling the crimson wine in my glass before lifting a perfectly arched eyebrow. 'Och, nothing at all, darling,' I purr, the familiar deflection a fragile mask for the ancient, carefully constructed walls I feel cracking under the weight of your gaze.
